What % of PA category, CL, YEE goes into merit raise calculation ?

Recently resigned from EMHC (BTW, the Job market is hot) but wanted to share some observations. Many company Kool-Aid drinkers will say the opposite happens. And yes the MOH system is abused. But I'd say at least 25% if not more of NI and NSI... — read more

I have no trust in the leadership because they seem to have no long-term plan. It is truly unbelievable to me that our leaders are so short-sighted. Sometimes I wonder if they even care about the future of this company?

People are fleeing to Spring

Every person they have to hire will be less skilled, less trained, and more expensive. It would be better to just compensate competitively. *And I am not saying experienced hires are less skilled. But 6mo-1yr to find a candidate and then the... — read more

Give credit to the Elon fanboys. If Elon took over EM like Twitter. Things would look good on both side. Severance packages and a leaner organization

When should we expect to hear about the RSU programme? Will we get told at the same time as the salary treatment is communicated? Feel its all gone quiet following the initial announcement earlier this year....

I’ve basically been told I can get any assignment I want next. Where are the best opportunities?

The solution is to retain talent. The MC doesn’t have a clue do they?

In keeping with the actual purpose of this site, I thought I’d ask if there were any credible rumors about upcoming layoffs/WFRs. Share what you know.

Exxon is sitting on over $32G in cash. They aren’t paying the employees more so who is getting bought? Hess Marathon Diamondback Others? What else would they do with all that cash with inflation so high?
